A significant bulldozer operation is ongoing in Chomu, Rajasthan, targeting 20 illegal slaughterhouses in Pathans’ Mohalla. Authorities are also taking action against unauthorized constructions, with heavy police presence to maintain order. Following a dispute over alleged encroachment near a mosque, incidents of stone-pelting prompted police action.
The police have issued notices to 24 accused stone-pelters, giving them three days to respond. After the deadline passed on December 31, the municipal council was authorized to begin demolition proceedings. Security forces, including two companies of the Rajasthan Armed Constabulary, are deployed in the area to prevent disturbances.
Local reactions vary, with some supporting strict measures against violence perpetrators and others urging protection for innocent residents. Efforts are underway to identify all involved in the stone-pelting, with 19 arrests made and more suspects identified during interrogation. Video footage from the incident night is being analyzed for further leads.
Authorities have not ruled out involvement from individuals outside the state and are investigating their motives. The Chomu Municipal Council has issued notices regarding illegal slaughterhouses and unauthorized constructions, warning of demolition if parties fail to comply. Strict actions will persist against those engaged in violence and illegal activities, with security forces on high alert to maintain peace.
